We are so excited to welcome a new member to the GWHA family! Meet our newest physiotherapist, Kanzah✨🫶🏼

“I am enthusiastic about pelvic health and musculoskeletal physiotherapy, and I strive to provide evidence-based treatment tailored to each individual’s needs and goals.

My approach is grounded in empathy, active listening, and ongoing learning—ensuring that every patient feels supported and empowered throughout their recovery journey.

Outside the clinic, I’m a food enthusiast who loves experimenting with different flavors in the kitchen. I also enjoy spending quality time with my family, getting lost in a good novel, catching up on sleep (underrated!), and unwinding through doodling and creative sketching.”

Appointments are available with Kanzah for both pelvic and orthopedic appointments. Visit the link in our bio to book your appointment with Kanzah! ✅📲

Is your knee pain slowing you down? 🏃‍♀️

The knee is one of the most commonly injured joints because it works hard as both a hinge and shock absorber during walking, running, jumping, climbing, and more.

If you’re experiencing any sort of knee pain, our orthopedic physiotherapists at GWHA are here to help! Whether you’re experiencing a sprain, arthritis, or recovering from a recent knee surgery — our team can assess what’s going on and create a plan completely tailored to your needs✅
